Setting Control Protocol And Address; Installing The Snoot (Optional) - Martin MAC 600E User Manual

Setting control protocol and address

One of the operating modes shown below must be selected. Factors to consider when selecting a mode will depend on your
controller and are discussed in the next section. Maximum flexibility is provided in mode 4.
Each fixture must be assigned its own channels to receive instructions from the controller. The address, also known as the start
channel, is the first channel used. Addresses are independent of the physical link: they may be set in any convenient order.
Two MAC 600/E's may share the same address; however, they will receive the same instructions and independent control will
not be possible.

1. Switch on the MAC 600/E.
2. You may push [MENU] and [ENTER] simultaneously to disable pan and tilt reset. This is handy if you
want to change settings while the MAC 600/E is in a flight case. As the fixture does not run through the
entire reset procedure, error messages will be displayed. This is not a fault with the fixture. The reset
procedure can take 2 - 3 minutes.
3. Press the [MENU] key once, and then press the [↑] or [↓] keys repeatedly until the display shows
PSET . Press [ENTER] to confirm.
4. Press [↑] or [↓] until the desired protocol, as shown in the above table, appears on the display. Press
[ENTER] to confirm.
5. Press [↑] or [↓] repeatedly until the display shows either
wish to select a DMX address or Martin address, respectively. Press [ENTER] to confirm.
6. Press [↑] or [↓] repeatedly until the desired address is displayed. Press [ENTER] to confirm.
Press [MENU] to return to the main menu. The address is displayed. Address and protocol settings are saved when the
power is switched off.
